# Data for Hangman
# Representing the game state
-Three data items:
+Five data items:
* `target`, the target word: a `string`
* `discovered`, what's been found so far: a `list` of letters (each a length-one `string`)
* `guess`, the letter that's just been guessed: a length-one `string`
* `lives`, the lives remaining: an `int`
* `wrong_letters`, the incorrect guesses: a `list` (optional)
- * (but it makes the automated players easier if they don't have to track wrong guesses and therefore be made stateless)

## Hints
1. Remember `<string>.join(<list>)` ?
-2. `input('prompt')` (or `input('prompt').strip().lower()[0]` )
-3. Walk over `target`, looking for `guess`. Explicit iteration (`for letter in target:`) or with a comprehension (`enumerate(target)`)
-4. `target[n] = guess`. Note that you need the numerical position, and you need all the positions for repeated words.

5. How do you know the guess is wrong?
